I guess the family computer will be entirely useless to everyone else in the house but me.

Great to know. Not that I ever fucking use that menu, opting to use the sleep button on my keyboard instead.

Anyone who can should switch to Linux. Most of us can, I have done so on my laptop. I have tried gaming on Linux too and it's fucking fantastic though I personally had an edge case issue that barely anyone will ever meet and had to go back. Do not let that discourage you from trying, however. Cyberpunk, as an example, was wonderful on Linux. No issues. As soon as my issues are sorted, something that will happen sooner or later, I will switch that pc in an instant!

WTF happened to Microsoft? What a fall. Is this a leadership thing?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They were always about screwing over consumers to make money. The only thing that changed is that they've become increasingly unsubtle about it.

Turns out you can make more money by reducing usability and user choice in an entrenched product because hardly anyone will baulk and jump ship to a different product.

People pay for this?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Usually they just over-pay for their computer because you can't really buy a system without Windows pre-installed (unless you build it).

I have so many computers that came with Windows installations that I never even booted into.
